We are beginning the final phase of this cool home. Last Thursday a great team from Volkswagen rocked in hanging drywall on the walls throughout. Hanging drywall well is not the easiest of tasks, I tried something different, we split them up into groups of their own, taught them how to hang the boards, and then let them work on their own, with just a little oversight when it was asked for. Amazing how well it worked, they policed their work themselves and did beautiful work. Saturday was an open build and we continued hanging board kind of using the same M.O. Worked again. We almost finished it all, got far enough along that our finisher, Gordon, started taping and mudding on Sunday. He will be at it all week, hope to get him completed by the weekend.

We will have two open builds this week, one on Thursday, the other on Saturday. If you would like to sign up to work, please do so by clicking here. There are a ton of small projects we can do; complete the two porches, paint the frieze boards, build shelves in the shed, transfer stuff from the trailer to the shed in prep for moving the trailer, and paint the exterior doors. I'm sure I've forgotten some stuff, so stay loose.

Next Thursday, July 20, we have a team build with the good folks from VISA and I would like them to begin painting the interior. In prep for that I plan on a day of interior spray painting; primer on ceilings and walls and white on the ceiling. There will only be a few of us, I will send out a separate note, if you would like to volunteer to help, let me know please.

 

Cheers
